The research Critical perspectives on career and career guidance (COCAG) will explore the following research questions.
COCAG will foster debate around these questions by stimulating publication projects, brokering relationships between researchers and developing new research directions. It will also support the public communication of research insights, findings and projects to policymakers and practitioners.
Capacity building is at the heart of the aims of COCAG. The Action will support the career development of Young Researchers and Innovators within the field by providing the opportunity to build international networks, co-publish with more experienced researchers, and participate in a wide variety of activities. The Action will also support collaboration between the COST Member Countries, Near Neighbour Countries (NNC) and International Partner Countries (IPC), particularly engaging and supporting researchers from COST Inclusiveness Target Countries. Finally, it will support practitioners and policymakers engagement with research and theory in the area and the mutual exchange and expansion of knowledge and expertise.
